1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), one of the most common types of endocrine diseases, is characterized by a high prevalence among women of reproductive-age. However, its pathogenesis and molecular mechanisms remain unclear. CircMTO1 has been reported to participate in numerous biological processes, but, its role in PCOS progression remains unknown. In the current study, we elucidated the expression and circRNA characterization of circMTO1 in human granulosa-like tumor cells. We found that circMTO1 knockdown promoted human granulosa-like tumor cell proliferation and inhibited its apoptosis rate. Next, we explored the underlying molecular mechanisms by using a series of experiments. Our results revealed the effect of the novel circMTO1/miR-320b/MCL1 axis in human granulosa-like tumor cells. Furthermore, we found that the expression of circMTO1 was induced by Snail family transcriptional repressor 2 (SNAI2) in human granulosa-like tumor cells. Our results may provide potential targets for PCOS research and a novel direction for the diagnosis and treatment of PCOS.
